Maria Königin, Niedernhausen

Niedernhausen had only few Catholic inhabitants until the end of World War II. They had a small church, built from 1881 and dedicated on 20 September 1885 to Maria Geburt (Birth of Mary).^[1] When many people arrived as refugees, the church was too small, and a new church, Maria Königin, was built. When it was opened in 1960, the old church became a culture centre, Zentrum Alte Kirche.^[1]

In 1976, the parish St. Michael, Oberjosbach, was joined to Maria Königin.^[2] In 2017, both church locations became part of the parish St. Martin, Idsteiner Land.^[2][3]
